Ladbrokes have slashed their odds from 16/1 to 4/1 on the France star heading to Old Trafford this summer.

Benzema worked under Mourinho at Real Madrid before the Special One was axed.

And he is not the only Galactico linked with a switch to the Red Devils.

Ladbrokes make it 9/2 that Gareth Bale 9/2 returns to the Premier League with United and a homecoming for Stretford End hero Cristiano Ronaldo is at 6s.

It’s 5/1 United sign two or more players from the Spanish giants, while you can back a sensational triple swoop for Benzema, Ronaldo and Bale at 500/1.

Ladbrokes News spokesman Dave Burin said: “With Man United needing to revamp their attack and Mourinho about to call the shots it'll come as no surprise to see Benzema swap Madrid for Manchester this summer.”

The Independent this morning claimed Mourinho has identified Benzema as a priority target.

The pair have enjoyed a fruitful relationship before and the striker has previously spoken positively about working with Mourinho.
